Former President Donald Trump is facing challenges as he embarks on a new campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has expressed concerns about Trump's attack strategies and the potential impact of Harris' rise on down-ballot Republicans.
McCarthy emphasized the importance of focusing the race on policies rather than personalities. He urged Trump to shift his focus from questioning the size of Harris' crowds to scrutinizing her policy positions, pointing out her history of shifting stances.
According to McCarthy, Harris is known for her significant policy flip-flops and extreme positions. He advised Trump to seize the opportunity to define the race by using Harris' own words against her.
McCarthy also suggested that Trump should prioritize fundraising for down-ballot Republicans running for House seats. He noted that this election cycle presents a favorable environment for Republicans to secure House seats, making it easier than in previous cycles.
